Advocacy

We are committed to diversity and dedicated to seeking input from our members and stakeholders in developing policies and setting priorities that best serves our members, mission and our vision. The Black Community represents approximately 3% of the total Canadian Population and less than 1% of our contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product. To increase trade within the Black Business Community, we will advocate all levels of governments for public policies that enhance and promote growth for Black entrepreneurs and Black businesses. We aim to influence government and public institutions on behalf of the Black business community in a positive, visible, and proactive manner. We will maintain a bipartisan approach to advocating. We collaborate with policymakers from all political affiliations to advocate for policies and synergy groups that best serve the interest of the Black Business community.

Policy Committees are designed to develop policies reflecting the best interests of the Black diaspora business community. Each committee provides an opportunity for our members to identify and respond to issues they believe directly impact local commerce and the community. On a monthly basis, policy proposals are forwarded to the Policy Forum for debate and approval. Once approved they form the consensus used to lobby all three levels of government on behalf of Chamber members.
